Serving Others

It has been several years since we have had the opportunity to serve in this manner. When the kids were smaller, before any of them started school, we found ourselves ringing bells weekly. This year we rang again. However, instead of weekly, we did it once. It was  long time for the kids, but they did great. It was near the end that it was getting tough. Can't wait to continue to tradition!

loose tooth

Ali lost her first tooth in November. It was a traumatic experience for her. She really struggled with it. Thankfully when it was hanging by a thread, Mrs. Mickelburg at school pulled it out for her.

Fall Fun 2014

Kindergarten celebration

To celebrate that my baby girl is off to full day school, we went to build-a-bear, per her request! It was our last day to hang out together during the day while the other two were at school. Kindergarten starts school two days after the rest so the students can meet with their teachers for assessments.

Christmas Morning 2013

Our Christmas is spread out between two days. On Christmas Eve the Pagel side comes to our house and we do our family Christmas with theirs. Then on Christmas morning we open stockings then head to the Cohans then head to the Mikesells.

We use Christmas to celebrate Jesus' birthday. On Christmas eve we include a cake and everything. On Christmas morning we open the best gift that's ever been given.....

 Our Manger sits empty all season long.

 Until we open Baby Jesus on Christmas Day!

 It is his birth we celebrate on this Holy Day. It is on this day we add him to the stable!
